Malalad hopes to make Asiad dream a reality

By KRISTEL SATUMBAGA

FOR GRETCHEN Malalad, the coming Asian Games will probably be her make-or-break tournament to highlight a glorious career.

"I’m not going to promise anything, I’ll just do my best," she said.

"I wanted to feel again the ambiance of a tournament and the pressure that lies when competing dahil matagal-tagal na rin akong hindi nakakapag-compete abroad," said Malalad. "Iba siyempre ‘yung atmosphere sa training at sa competition. I’ve been training really hard and I wanted to compete in a tournament before the Asian Games."

 

When asked if this would be her last Asian Games, Malalad just shrugged her shoulders.

 

"I don’t know, pag-iisipan ko pa dahil the next Asian Games, 30 na ako."
